You can
put this solution on YOUR website! What is the percent increase from 8 to 10?
You need these:
AMOUNT OF INCREASE = NEW QUANTITY - OLD QUANTITY
AMOUNT OF INCREASE
FRACTION of INCREASE = ——————————————————
OLD QUANTITY
DECIMAL OF INCREASE = FRACTION OF INCREASE CHANGED TO A DECIMAL
PERCENT OF INCREASE = DECIMAL OF INCREASE CHANGED TO A PERCENT
--------------------------------------------------------
In your problem, OLD QUANTITY = 8, NEW QUANTITY = 10
AMOUNT OF INCREASE = NEW QUANTITY - OLD QUANTITY = 10 - 8 = 2
AMOUNT OF INCREASE 2
FRACTION of INCREASE = —————————————————— = ———
OLD QUANTITY 8
DECIMAL OF INCREASE = FRACTION OF INCREASE CHANGED TO A DECIMAL
.25
8)2.00
1 6
40
40 so decimal of increase = .25
PERCENT OF INCREASE = DECIMAL OF INCREASE CHANGED TO A PERCENT
Percent of Increase = .25 changed to a percent = 25%
